How do you make e-commercesite using paypal!

[Ferrari]

Hello

How do you make e-commerce site, using paypal, with using free bluevoda site builder, using paypal buttons?

How do you link your ebooks/software with e-commerce,so it will be able to be bought and downloaded and also by giving it free to visitors or customers?

Is there anyone that can help me?

Thanks in advance!

You have a couple of choices...

You can use the buttons for paypal already built into BV, however they are a bit restricting in what you can do with them.

A better suggestion is to log in to your paypal account and then click on 'Merchant Services' and then look for 'shopping carts'

You basically enter your product details, price, shipping, any extra data for each product and it then produces some html coding for you to place on a page of your site. This then generates a button which when clicked will allow someone to order that item at the price you have set and it goes into your paypal account.

If you have 1 - 20 items this is okay. If you have any more than this you might want to look at other carts.. malscart is a good one.

You can't have it both ways.....

You can use Blue Voda to create a website just as you desire (with total creative control and freedom to do amazing things), and use a simple PayPal solution without cost (where customers actually transact business on the PayPal site and then return to your site), but you will not have the means to provide protected downloadable products using Blue Voda and PayPal.

If you want to create a website with more creative control and easier customization that will perform downloadable product delivery along with standard types of products, then you should look into Soholaunch, a powerful web builder tool with an eCommerce solution built in (a shopping cart), which is offered Free with every VodaHost account. You can then choose to use the free PayPal payment option with Soholaunch as well, thus having the security of payment processing PayPal offers without having to pay additional costs (compared to a regular Merchant Account with another credit card processor, or with the other options PayPal offers with thier business accounts and gateways/ASI scripts).

Based on your requirements, I would steer you to Soholaunch (for the downloadable products capability) and to use the free PayPal solution already built in.



And, if you decide to go with a completely robust "cart" and Merchant Account solution altogether, PayPal is already pre-programmed as the default payment option for many of the more popular and compatible, such as osCommerce, ZEN, and Cube Cart. When selecting a shopping cart foundation, it is important to first verify which systems are compatible with the payment solution you decide to use, for most credit card processors specifically work with only a few gateways (such as iPayment, AuthorizeNet, etc.), and these gateways may or may not be usable cart to cart..... For instance, PayPal uses for their Web Store solution both AuthorizeNet and iPayment, and recognizes osCommerce and ZEN carts, but ZEN cart is not compatible with iPayment and instead forces you to use AuthorizeNet. It may sound confusing at first, but you need to select your payment solution first, and then go to the selection process of seeing which cart options are open for you to use!
